Business Idea#4: blinged bathroom, gleaming your porcelain

DAMN! I just wrote up this whole long ass post and it got deleted. Anyway I was in Palo Alto tonight for dinner at Andale mexican restaurant and while I was peeing in the bathroom I realized it was horribly boring. I would call myself a bathroom afficianado and know what makes an enjoyable experience. I would not have mind reading about a Taco recipe, what is in their burritos or a discount for mentioning something on the wall.

This helped me think of a business opportunity of a bathroom experience consultant. So much of a business is represented in the restroom even though customers only spend a little bit of time in there. It reflects the type of atmosphere and environment and can hopefully leave a positive impression (unless at a bar) about the organization. I would not give advice on bathroom designing but more of the experience and attitude in bars, restaurants and bowling alleys.

For example, while at Google for a job interview the bathroom left a positive memory in my mind:

1) electronic toilets that sprayed water in my butt

2) showers for people wanting to work at random hours

3) the toilets also were heated which was just fun

A suggestion for them could be having a tooth paste dispenser so people can brush there teeth at any time of day.

Some critical things any place can do to make their bathrooms more pleasant:

Put magazines or funny comic clips next to the urinals and in the stalls

Clean up your bathroom every hour on the hour. The dirty toilets and stains are not appealing

Make sure you have toilet seat covers, end of story!

So if you want a hip bathroom or someone to test drive your current bathroom email me.
